My assumption was that that was the total weight of the meat I bought. However, when I got home and weighed the meat myself, it was about 35kg! I immediately rang them to report this, and they admitted that the weight displayed was inclusive of the bone! I pointed out to them that this was false advertising, especially as I wasn't given this bone that had been included in the price I paid. They admitted that they could have done better by making it clear that the displayed weight was inclusive of the removed bone. They, however, denied that they owed me any compensation for false advertising. I just want to put this out there for other unsuspecting customers like me!

My experience is that you can eat enough yourself for your full family for a very cheap price but towards the end of the serving shift the food is either cold or well withered. The shop has really come on from what it used to be when you could buy limps of meat in packaging that was dripping in blood and it was all a rough and ready experience. Nowadays, they have a fish counter, deli, good value good quality fruit and veg etc but to me the meat is still just meat with no idea of where it is from.

Their vegan beetroot cake was moist and wonderful, and had me searching the internet in vain for a recipe to try to replicate it. I should really just buy it from Sugar Down and not bother trying! My fiancé's favorite is the Crack Pie. I honestly don't know what's in it besides sugary buttery goodness as he ate it all yesterday, so didn't get a taste! But he's had it twice now and loves it. We also got a wonderful peanut butter brownie which was chocolatey rich and had a big yummy swirl of peanut butter running throughout. Fantastic place to get a quick, cheap treat. A million times better than something you could buy at the grocery store, so don't even bother - just come here!
